Do you believe the music industry has an agenda behind it beyond entertaining people ?

Yes

No

It's called $$$$$

Musicians themselves are just tools for that goal.

Yes, the music industry is like Hollywood in the respect.

[AI Opinion]

The music industry often serves up more than just melodies to enjoy. While entertainment is a major focus, it can also influence culture, trends, and even politics. Just like how games often offer commentary on society, music can convey deeper messages or push certain narratives. 🎵 What matters most, though, is how listeners interpret and connect with it.

[hahahmm]

Just for example, I have heard from multiple sources stories that various "one hit" music artists were approached by music execs and told they had to do something evil if they wanted their music career to be successful. They said no, and they had no more hits. There's also multiple stories of similar happen for online influencers who get invited to Hollywood and if they do the nasty stuff they suddenly get promoted and helped into becoming huge. So it's not just music but entertainment in general. There's a reason why so many people at Diddy's parties were big and famous. Not saying he started this, at all. He's probably a small fry compared to the real leaders of it all.

Corey Feldman (think that's how its spelled) said for many years that he wasn't abused by Michael Jackson but gave the names of multiple people he said were child rapists and abusers. The government never investigated anything. Everyone focused on MJ who despite multiple investigations was proven innocent. So the government picks and chooses who to mess with and it just happens to almost never be the big fish abusers. FBI went to Epstein's island to collect evidence where he's said to have had video tapes of rich and famous people abusing kids. They 'forgot' to file any cases or reveal any info about any of it. Think about it.

I believe it. Ever since rap music became a thing, I've seen major cultural differences. I'm talking about gangster rap.

I'm not trying to be racist because I've watched white dudes that smother themselves in this music do the same shit.

Anyways, it sells a culture where demeaning women, violence, and material things are king... or I should say "kang and shit." And as an older member of society... I watched the change in real-time. I watched it change general society as well. All of a sudden chicks with six-packs were out and giggly asses and titts were in. Violence went up. Materialism really became a thing. I mean these fuckers will actually take on debt just to have a Lexus instead of some Toyota or Honda that is basically the same shit.

That's why I think the music industry has an agenda behind it. It literally shifts society. Before I was alive I think something similar happened with the hippy generation. And of course, this is my perspective... anecdotal evidence at best. I just watched way to many people find a music genre and they let that shape them. Like one day we were all listening to Metallica... and then that Snoop Dogg album came out. We were all friends and all played street hockey and football, the economic situation didn't change. But a shift happened in the kids that drilled into just being a "gangsta." I mean they went off the rails and it's like they thought they were more black than real black people. It's just something I seemed to notice... I'm curious if anyone around my age sort of noticed the same shit. One statistic I can pull up that lines up with my theory... look at black on black violence and when it shot up. It lines up when that music started selling like A & thus B.

Back in the 50s Rock and Roll was the devils music and Elvis was Satan. I don't really believe it. They just want to make money

[Anonymous]

Yep, the music industry is woke just like Hollywood.

[princeofromance]

They are selling sex to teenage boys with out-of-control hormones.

[zombiewoof]

Musicians want to entertain, the rest want to get rich

[Anonymous]

Their only agenda is lots of money, just like any other industry.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

To earn a lot of money, of course.
